Unraveling The Words of Yahweh

In this continuing study I take a look at the Rapture Doctrine. Is this a Pre-Trib, as taught in most mainstream Churches are do Christians go through the Tribulation Period? I compare Thessalonians to Matthew 24 along with Revelation. I venture into Paul’s writings to explore what he has to say, along with what Yahweh says in Ezekiel. I also ask the listeners to grab a pencil and paper as we create charts for comparison as we get deeper into this study. 

In this Part 47 I continue our study in this Matthew 24 verse 31. I finish up with our chart from the last study titled “The 2nd Coming of Yahshua Messiah”. I re-read some verses from Matthew 24. I discuss issues concerning Black Live Matters.

Here are some quotes from their page,

We see ourselves as part of the global Black family, and we are aware of the different ways we are impacted or privileged as Black people who exist in different parts of the world.

We are guided by the fact that all Black lives matter, regardless of actual or perceived sexual identity, gender identity, gender expression, economic status, ability, disability, religious beliefs or disbeliefs, immigration status, or location.

We make space for transgender brothers and sisters to participate and lead.

We are self-reflexive and do the work required to dismantle cisgender privilege and uplift Black trans folk, especially Black trans women who continue to be disproportionately impacted by trans-antagonistic violence.

We build a space that affirms Black women and is free from sexism, misogyny, and environments in which men are centered.
We foster a queer‐affirming network. 

UPDATE: Since my original date of this study BLM has CHANGED their statement!

 Take note that there is NOT ONE VERSE that we covered so far that describes a Pre-Trip Rapture! 

 The 4 subjects that I covered from last week are, “Yahweh’s Wrath”, “After Tribulation”, “In the Clouds”, “and Angels to Gather”

The verses that I will be using, Rev. 16:15-16; Acts 1:9; Rev.11:11-12; Matt. 24:29-31; Matt, 13:37-42; Rev. 14:14-20; I Corin. 15:51-52; 1 Thess. 4:15-17; 1 Thess. 2:1-2 

The First Resurrection – Revelation 20:4-6

What is the Last Trump? 1 Corinthians 15:51-52

1Co 15:51  Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 

1Co 15:52  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

1Thess 4:15-17
1Th 4:15  For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 
1Th 4:16  For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of Yahweh: and the dead in The Messiah shall rise first: 
1Th 4:17  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 

Coming of the Lord = Day of the Lord = The Gathering
2 Thess 2:1-2
 2Th 2:1  Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 
2Th 2:2  That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

In this week’s study, I continue in  Chapter 13 verses 2-4.

NOW WE COME TO THE WRATH OF SATAN
 13:1-18. 
 The Result of the "War in Heaven" as regards the Earth at large.

We have seen and considered the result of the "War in Heaven" as it concerns Israel. We have now to consider its further effect as it concerns the Earth at large.

This effect is twofold, inasmuch as it results in the rise of the Two Beasts: 
The one from the Sea (verses -1-10). 
 The other from the Earth (verses 11-18).

We now begin in this Chapter 13. I personally find this chapter 13 most interesting. I believe that this chapter 13 shows us what we can expect during this period of The Wrath of Satan. Matter of fact we will be creating another chart showing this Wrath of Satan. So follow along as we Unravel this chapter 13!!!!!

 We see in this Chapter 13, 2 different beast systems. We must ask ourselves who they are and what are they up to.
Also we read of a “mark”. We need to find out what is this “mark” and is this “mark” in effect today?

Now keep in mind that while we are studying about this 2 beast system within the 4th Vision of John, which is on this earth, that the 2 witnesses are preaching the Gospel of Yahshua Messiah and exposing this 2 beast system that is attacking the area of Jerusalem and the ripple effect throughout the world. (By the way, Do you see the Positive and Negative of this? 2 witnesses verse the 2 beast system?) Now these 2 witnesses, by their actions, aggravates Satan and Satan turns on the heat on those that hear what those 2 witnesses which are exposing Satan’s plan to destroy souls, therefore the people that listen to the words and see the actions of the 2 witnesses honor and worship and realize where their salvation lies that leads them to eternal life comes from! Let me ask you something, have you ever considered why Satan and his evil co-horts place the 2 witnesses out on the streets? I believe that in Satan’s 1st attempt by having Yahshua Messiah killed and placed in a tomb, which lead to the disappearance of Yahshua Messiah, this caused Satan to place the 2 witnesses in the streets so the whole world could see the power of Satan and the people can watch to see their bodies rot on the streets! The problem is that those of us that have read the Book of Revelation know the outcome of the resurrection of the 2 witnesses and then the 3rd woe which leads to the 7th Trumpet.    

2  Power = ‘doo-nam-is’ force. This is where we get the word dynamite.

Seat = throne. Could this be in reference to Rev. 2:13? Pergamus!

3    And I saw one of his heads, as it were wounded to death = this verse indicates some sort of ‘resurrection’. The phrase “wounded to death” means properly that it received a mortal wound, that is, the wound would have been mortal if it had not been healed.

All the world wondered after the beast = Gave it their wonder and admiration. 

4.   And they worshipped the dragon = The devil, in the idols, images, angels, and saints departed

and they worshipped the beast = not only in a civil way, being subject to him as their temporal lord, to whom they give homage; obedience, and tribute, but in a religious way;

Who is like unto the beast? = That is, he is to be regarded as unequalled and as supreme. This was, in fact, ascribing honors to him, which belonged only to Yahweh

Who is able to make war with him? = That is, he is invincible. They thus credited to him omnipotence - an attribute belonging only to Yahweh.

In this week’s study, I begin Chapter 13.
NOW WE COME TO THE WRATH OF SATAN
 13:1-18.

Matter of fact we will be creating another chart showing this Wrath of Satan. So follow along as we Unravel this chapter 13!!!!!

 In chapter 12 we discussed the long career of Satan, in chapter 13 we will move on to discuss the much shorter careers of Satan’s human cohorts in the end times. Specifically, Antichrist, the False Prophet, and their followers.

 We see in this Chapter 13, 2 different beast systems. We must ask ourselves who are they and what are they up to.

Also we read of a “mark”. We need to find out what is this “mark” and is this “mark” in effect today?

I comment on Rabbi Ariel Bar Tzadok the founder of “Kosher Torah School” as he stated on a recent Episode of Ancients Aliens, “When the Messiah comes back he won’t be coming from the sky, but from the inner earth!”

This quote is taken from his essay “Secrets of Hebron, Eden and Inner Earth”, The Zohar states that the Garden of Eden is a real physical place existing in Inner Earth. In the “Garden” there are said to be numerous “palaces.” This indicates that the Garden is no mere botanical location. It seems to imply that the Garden might not be a botanical domain at all, but rather a built-up domain similar to a modern city. One of the “palaces” in the Garden is said to be the Palace of Mashiah. The Zohar teaches that Mashiah resides here and from here receives “powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men.” It is from here in the Garden that Mashiah sets out to Outer Earth to there fight the wars of HaShem and to conquer the surface for Him.”

Keep in that he is a diehard Kabbalist! A student of the Zohar!

I stood = There seems to be a conflict on the first part of this verse. So the big issue is the fact that some manuscripts like the NA28 have “ἐστάθη/his-tay-e”, meaning "and he/ it stood," rather than ἐστάθην/his-tay-mee (e.g KJV, meaning "and I stood."
upon the sand of the sea = where the four winds were to be seen striving upon the great sea (Dan. 7:2). 
beast = Greek, “wild beast.” Man becomes “brutish” when he severs himself from Yahweh 
out of the sea = (Dan. 7:3; out of the troubled waves of peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues. The earth (Rev. 13:11), on the other hand, means the consolidated, ordered world of nations, with its culture and learning. 
seven heads and ten horns = The ten horns are now put first (contrast the order, Rev. 12:3) because they are crowned. Now I want you to notice the likeness of the beast to the one who empowers him. And at the end of verse one he has “10 horns and seven heads.” It is interesting. We have almost an identical description of Satan in chapter 12 and verse three where we read the, “great red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads were seven diadems.”

Take note that there is NOT ONE VERSE that we covered so far that describes a Pre-Trip Rapture!

However I begin with a recent article about Pastor Bill Johnson and others as they Mimic the Wizard Gandalf from the Lord of the Rings in Apostolic Decree to End Racism 

“This is witchcraft. I can’t believe that Christians are falling for these so-called proclamations,” another commenter wrote. “We are truly living in the last days, brothers and sisters. Test the spirits.”

 The 4 subjects that we will be using are, “Yahweh’s Wrath”, “After Tribulation”, “In the Clouds”, “Angels to Gather”

The verses that I will be using, Rev. 16:15-16; Acts 1:9; Rev.11:11-12; Matt. 24:29-31; Matt, 13:37-42; Rev. 14:14-20; I Corin. 15:51-52; 1 Thess. 4:15-17; 1 Thess. 2:1-2 

The Lord Comes as a Thief at Armageddon
Rev 16:15  Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 
Rev 16:16  And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. 

He went up into the clouds. He shall return in the clouds!
Act 1:9  And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 
Act 1:10  And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 
Act 1:11  Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Yahshua, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. 

2 Witnesses will ascend into the clouds like Yahshua Messiah
Rev 11:11  And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. 
Rev 11:12  And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

A chronology of the Wrath of Yahweh
 Mat 24:29  Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 
Mat 24:30  And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 
Mat 24:31  And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
 
Don’t end up like those in Hosea 4:6 ‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God (Elohim), I will also forget thy children.’

But, be like those in 2Timothy 2:15 ‘Study to shew thyself approved unto God (Yahweh), a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

In this week’s study, I finish up in Chapter 12.

THE RESULT "ON EARTH" OF THE "WAR IN HEAVEN."

In today’s study we are in verses 16 and 17. Here we read that John sees the earth helping the woman flee from the dragon. 

I go into a rant about Donald Trump using the MAGA slogan comparing it to what lies within the Church of Satan. The Official Church of Satan founded by Anton Lavey in 1966 and which obviously predates any Trump campaign slogans like "MAGA" has on its page about their hierarchy something interesting.

PRIESTHOOD OF MENDES

These are the individuals who act as spokespersons for the philosophy of the Church of Satan, which include the titles of “Priest”/“Priestess,” “Magister”/“Magistra,” “Magus”/“Maga.” Members of the Priesthood make up the Council of Nine, which is the ruling body of the organization, appointed by and responsible to the High Priest/Priestess. The Order of the Trapezoid consists of the individuals who assist in the administration of the Church of Satan. Members of our Priesthood are people of accomplishment in the real world—they have mastered skills and have won peer recognition, which is how they have attained their position—“as above, so below.” 

 So far in this Chapter 12 it has described the events of what will happen in the career of Satan during this time, after he has been permanently expelled from heaven, cast from heaven down to earth as we studied last week.  And because of his embarrassing defeat and because he knows that his time is short according to verse 12 of chapter 12, he will be absolutely furious with rage, and he will vent his bad temper on Israel whom Yahweh will supernaturally protect and ultimately reconcile unto himself and finally establish them in their land in their long anticipated kingdom.

The Dragon, as soon as he is cast down into the earth, at once proceeds to make war with the Woman, and the remnant of her seed. 

In our last study we read about the dragon/serpent/Satan/Lucifer/devil being cast out of heaven thrown to this earth. In his anger, the devil leashes an all out war against those that have put their faith in the King of Kings Lord of Lords, Yahshua Messiah. In verse 15 we see the serpent, through the activity of the antichrist and his forces, sweeping like a mighty flood toward Israel that have been delivered now miraculously into the wilderness. 

But notice the Lord’s glorious protection in verse 16.

16.       And the earth helped the woman = By opening itself, and taking in what the serpent cast out, so that it could not reach the woman, and annoy her. 

and the earth opened her mouth; = as it did when it swallowed up Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, Num. 16:30t.

17.       And the dragon was wroth with the woman = This wrath had been vented by his persecuting her in verse 13; by his pursuing her; and by his pouring out the flood of water to sweep her away in verse 15; and the same wrath was now vented against her children.

Which keep the commandments of Yahweh = Who were true Christians.

And have the testimony of Yahshua Messiah = That is, they bore a faithful testimony to his truth, or were real martyrs.  Once again allow me to bring up a point. If the Churches of today teach a rapture doctrine, how can we read here in this Chapter 12 of Satan still trying to destroy Yahweh’s elect?

 In this study I continue with our chart on the Wrath of Satan. Go into some Religious News about the Pope and the Interfaith doctrine. I share an article about Don Lemon of CNN claiming that Yahshua Messiah was not perfect has He walked on this earth!

 The 4 subjects that we will be using are, “Yahweh’s Wrath”, “Day of the Lord”, “Coming as a Thief”,  “Coming of the Lord”

The verses that I will be using, Rev. 15-19; Zeph. 1:15-19; Joel 2:10-31; 2 Peter 3:10; 1 Thess. 5:2; Matt. 24:42-43; 1 Corin. 1:6-8; 2 Thess. 2:1-2; Matt. 24:29-31

The Lord Comes during the Wrath of Yahweh Matthew 24:21, 29-31

Mat 24:21  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 

Mat 24:29  Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 

Mat 24:30  And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 

Mat 24:31  And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. 

Judgment of the Great Whore

Rev 16:19  And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before Yahweh, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. 

Rev 16:20  And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 

Rev 16:21  And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed Yahweh because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

Rev 17:1  And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:  

Don’t end up like those in Hosea 4:6 ‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God (Elohim), I will also forget thy children.’

But, be like those in 2Timothy 2:15 ‘Study to shew thyself approved unto God (Yahweh), a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.’

 Heb 1:1  Yahweh, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 

Heb 1:2  Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 

Heb 1:3  Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 

31               He shall send his angels. = The words are unforgettable as the recognized expansion of what had been, as it were, hinted before in the parables of the Tares

With a great sound of a trumpet = The better MSS. omit “sound:” With a great trumpet.

trumpet = the 7th, the farthest one out. Always in the Greek

7th seal 7th trumpet Read Rev. 11:15-19; 16:17-21

They shall gather = quoted from Deut. 30:4. See also 1 Thess.4:16-17

Elect = ek-lek-tos'. elect; by implication favorite. These are those who “received the Word”. Acts 2:41; 1 Thess. 2:13

From = ‘ek’ out of

The 4 winds = moving into a concentrated area. The 4 winds are always referring to the end time. In Rev. 7:1 the 4 winds are being held back till the sounding of the 7th trumpet. Keep in mind that these 4 winds of the spirits of Ezekiel 37, Rev. 7 and Daniel 7.

In this week’s study, I continue in Chapter 12.

THE RESULT "ON EARTH" OF THE "WAR IN HEAVEN."

 In today’s study we are in verses 12 through 15. Here we find John warning us what is going to happen when Satan/Lucifer is cast out of heaven.

Now, our study this morning describes the events of what will happen in the career of Satan during this time, after he has been permanently expelled from heaven, cast from heaven down to earth as we studied last week.  And because of his embarrassing defeat and because he knows that his time is short according to verse 12 of chapter 12, he will be absolutely furious with rage, and he will vent his bad temper on Israel whom Yahweh will supernaturally protect and ultimately reconcile unto himself and finally establish them in their land in their long anticipated kingdom.

The Dragon, as soon as he is cast down into the earth, at once proceeds to make war with the Woman, and the remnant of her seed. He does this by bringing up the Beast in his superhuman form.

13  “Persecuted” translates a Greek word meaning “to chase” or “to hunt” or “to pursue with the intent to do violence.” And here Satan is depicted as a dragon-monster chasing the woman who, as we know is Israel, the one who gave birth to the male child, the Lord Yahshua Messiah.

14.       And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle = The most powerful of birds, and among the most rapid in flight. The meaning here is, that the woman is represented as prepared for a rapid flight

That she might fly into the wilderness = Here we find a more full description of what is briefly stated in verse 6.

From the face of the serpent = The dragon - or Satan represented by the dragon.

15.       And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood = First of all I have two thoughts on this. 1. The water here evidently means great multitudes of nations and peoples; for in Rev. 17:15, the interpreting angel says, ‘the waters which thou sawest - are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.’ This water, then, which the dragon cast out of his mouth, must be an flood of heathen barbarous nations upon the land of Israel; and the purpose which the dragon has in view by this flood is, that he might cause the woman, or Christian Church to be swalled up as the Egyptian army was destroyed by the flood in Exdo. 2. Or we can think spiritually and consider the fact that these floods are lies, deceiving the elect of Yahweh. Either way physically, spiritually or both Satan will be trying to destroy us!

So here in verse 15 we see the serpent, through the agency of the antichrist and his forces, sweeping like a mighty flood toward the Jews that have been delivered now miraculously into the wilderness. 

Don’t end up like those in Hosea 4:6 ‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God (Elohim), I will also forget thy children.’

But, be like those in 2Timothy 2:15 ‘Study to shew thyself approved unto God (Yahweh), a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.’

In this week’s study, I start continue in Chapter 12.

chapter 12:1-12.
 A Great Sign.

This morning we will be covering  verses 7 through 12. We find John recording for us this amazing battle that takes place in heaven where Michael is used by Yahweh to permanently expel Satan from the presence of Yahweh and cast him to the earth. And soon thereafter we find that he will be cast into the abyss, the lake of fire which will be his permanent, eternal abode.

I have divided these few verses into three parts.  We will first see the war in heaven, secondly, the dragon’s defeat and, thirdly, the heavenly celebration.  Before we look at it, let me give you one other important fact that I find deeply encouraging. 

Now, throughout history Satan and his forces have been at war with Yahweh and the holy angels and certainly all those that belong. Beyond the veil of our earthly existence there is an angelic war that is going on all the time. 

It is interesting the Lord describes this wicked evil person in five ways. He is called the great dragon, underscoring the vicious cruelty of this monster.  He is described as the serpent of old, identifying him as the serpent in the garden that tempted Adam and Eve. He is described as the devil, that means the slanderer, the maligner, the one who roams about the earth collecting evidence to accuse the saints before Yahweh’s bar of justice. He is described as Satan which is actually a transliteration of the Hebrew word satan  that refers to a super human adversary.  And he is also, finally, described as he who deceives or literally misleads the whole world, the one who is an absolute genius in seducing people to believe what is false while at the same time convincing them that it is true. And then when he causes them to fall he accuses them before Yahweh.

By the way, any time something is wildly popular with the world, go to Matthew Chapter 7 and be reminded . . . be reminded of the few and the many. There is a narrow gate and there is a broad gate. And whenever you see hordes of people running towards something, be at least a little bit suspicious. Satan is so clever in his counterfeits. And then, again, to think that he deceives us through temptations. He tricks us. And then when we yield to temptation and we walk into his trap, then he runs and accuses us before Yahweh. What a wicked monster he is. Remember what Paul tells us in Corinthians?

2Co 11:13  For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of the Messiah. 

2Co 11:14  And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 

2Co 11:15  Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. 
Now think of it this way.  Satan and his minions were not asked to leave.  They were not just kicked out. He didn’t get the boot.  Beloved, he was thrown down! 

Don’t end up like those in Hosea 4:6 ‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God (Elohim), I will also forget thy children.’

But, be like those in 2Timothy 2:15 ‘Study to shew thyself approved unto God (Yahweh), a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.’

In this week’s study, I start continue in Chapter 12 verses 5 to 7.

5.             man-child = Greek, “a son, a male.” On the deep significance of this term, re-read verses 1 and 2
rule = Greek, “poimainein,” “tend as a shepherd”; (see on Rev. 2:27). The word “rule” is important because in the original language it carries with it the idea of destruction.  It is the idea of “destroying” and, indeed, the messianic kingdom, when the Lord returns will destroy all other kingdoms. His kingdom alone will dominate the world.  His rod of justice is one of iron. It will not be broken.
rod of iron = A rod is for long-continued determination until they submit themselves to obedience

Beginning with verse 6 I ask the question, Is this verse speaking of 2 events? An event of the past and an event of the future?
6.             woman fled = We recall the Virgin Mary’s flight with Yahshua Messiah into Egypt is a type of this event.
In our charts that we have been creating along in this study, I have a chart titled “Wrath of Satan”. Contained in this chart I have listed 10 verses and 5 events.
prepared of God = literally, “from Yahweh.”
they should feed her = Greek, “nourish her.” Indefinite for, “she should be fed.”

7.        And there was war in heaven = keep in mind that we are now discussing a supernatural battle! Listen to how Henry Alford explains this, ‘(we now enter upon a mysterious series of events in the world of spirits, with regard to which merely fragmentary hints are given us in the Scriptures.
1. Suppression of all religion, including all communions and doctrines which could not be subjected as tools for illuminism. 

2. Suppression of all Sentiments of nationality and - in the long term - abolition of all nations and introduction of an illuministic world government. 

3. Successive transference of all private and national property into the hands of the Illuminati. The methods through which to accomplish this were new taxation laws, which illuministic officials were to introduce. Weishaupt's original plans also included a progressive income tax and an even more confiscatory inheritance tax.

4. An all-encompassing espionage and accusation system with the "insinuating brothers" as prototype.  The symbol of this was the all-seeing eye, an eye within a pyramid, which was the illuministic symbol of power. It was also known as "the evil eye", which symbolized Osiris. This symbol originated from the Brotherhood of the Serpent (Dragon) of ancient Egypt, at the same time proclaiming Lucifer as wisdom incarnate. And finally: 

5. A global moral rule, a complete standardization of the innermost will, wishes and aspirations of all peoples beneath "the one will", the will of the Illuminati. This is symbolized by olive branches. These five rules are also denoted by the five-pointed star of freemasonry.

 The secret code of the Illuminati is 666. The code number of King Solomon was also 666. Every year he demanded 666 talents of gold (I Kings 10:14). The design of his throne incorporated the code 666. The tale of Solomon is the basis for masonic magic. The Illuminati simply wanted to abolish all forms of ordered government, patriotism, religion and the family to finally set up a world government. Righteous people would never work for such an abhorrent program, so the "ordinary" Illuminati were filled with fair phrases about love, charity and such which we call "ideology" today.
